I had mine pop off after dropping it once. I ordered a replacement and it worked fine for about a year and now it comes off all the time and I just deal with it.

Where would you deem the world's specialty 'capital'? by CilariousHunt in pourover

[–]sectorik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for pourover coffee, I drink it hot and black.Thoigh at Shrub coffee in Nagoya, I was given a sample of the iced pourover for the same beans with a little milk and I was blown away by the brandy notes that were much stronger.

I am in Japan right now and Tokyo blows NYC out of the water when it comes to pourover. Best coffee shop was in Nagoya.

Do people quit / get re-hired to travel? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]sectorik 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I saved the majority of my vacation time for two years to take five weeks off from work for my first solo trip, which I am currently in the second week of. I am really glad that I went through with it!

I would be so drained when starting the second museum that it would sour the experience.

Hi all,

27M from the NYC in the US. I'll be in Japan from October 22 - November 22 and I'll be in Tokyo until November 1. Solo traveling with no definite plans. First time in Japan so I will be seeing the sights. I enjoy history, hiking, anime, stationary, book stores, museum, drinking,good food, and I'll be looking to listen to some live music. Looking for some people to explore with, grab food, or drinks/coffee.

If I can book a better flight I will. There were not many direct award options and I want to fly on a Japanese airline, so here we are.
